Coconut Water Rice with Spice
A delcious accompaniment to anything hot and spicy or quite delicious as a sort of risotto. Easy, quick and tasty. Thermomix strikes again.
This rice recipe is fantastic as a side dish to accompany the Sweetlip Coconut Cerviche recipe that is also on the Inside for this month. It is also just as good when teamed with anything hot and spicy. Think curries, especially Thai inspired curries. OR. Think South American food, think plain old boring rice turned on it’s head. Peru...I can almost hear you calling my name...
Go and make...then come and tell me all about it on Instagram. You won’t regret it.
